2010 - A year to behold. It starts with amazing fireworks

Leading into the new year:
The masters of empire suffered two major defeats as a healing trend in the world has begun. The attempt to crash the U.S. dollar was foiled when China, rather than dumping its dollars as it had been demanded (that would have caused great damage to the world), China retained its dollar reserves and used it as a backing for financial credits to engage in vast infrastructure development projects, together with Russia. In the shadow of this beginning a number of Asian countries announced ambitious projects of their own, for nuclear power development.

The masters of empire also suffered a second major, in mid December, when the Copenhagen Conference failed to persuade the world to submit itself to an imperial world government dictatorship with a binding mandate for world population reduction to reduce the human carbon footprint, coupled with global taxation and deindustrialization, which was to be enforced with penalties -- all based on the global warming hoax that was beginning to unravel as the conference unfolded. Mankind saved itself from this tragedy too, as its healing continued, while the field of empire became an increasingly desperate scene. In Copenhagen the heart of the empire's global warming doctrine was revealed as a fraud, both in the form of a leak of scandalous e-mails, and by the Universe in the form of a radically colder winter erupting. In Copenhagen the empire's global warming game of 35 years in the making, which was a fraud to begin with, was essentially buried.

From this background the stage was set for huge events to come, as the end-phase of empire, which won't die easily, is unfolding. Against this background, not surprisingly, the "Detroit underwear (airplane) bomber" incidence happened, which heightened the terrorist tension around the world.

In the last days of 2009:
Prime Minister of Canada suspended the country's parliament till March 5.
The U.S. Senate voted up a 2000 page Hitler-style health care bill with perpetuity clauses inserted, so that no legislature will ever be able to challenge, discuss, or overturn, the key provisions of the bill. Fascism, of course, in whatever form it unfolds, is the mark of empire raising its ugly head. LaRouche's answer was a warning, at the close of the year: Emergency Message from LaRouche: To What Are You Loyal?

As the new year begins:
The U.S. President puts all discussion for the conciliation (House and Senate versions) of the U.S. healthcare bill behind closed doors.
Within days the giant AIG scandal breaks, revealing massive financial fraud involving top officials, shaking the system at its very core, as AIG is being covertly used as a vehicle to bail out the empire's "banking" system (derivatives gambling system) around the world, with U.S. taxpayers' money. 

Jan 10, LaRouche issues a 4-pont legislation proposal for the impeachment of the President ( The Case for Impeachment of President Barack Obama ). The LaRouche Political Action Committee subsequently introduced LaRouche's impeachment proposal at the National Press Club, together with the introduction of three candidates for Congress, from the LaRouche Youth Organization, who declared their commitment to the LaRouche Plan to recover the nation and the world.

While political actions to defend a nation or the world tend to unfold in a reactionary mode, the power of true political action lies not in opposing things and violent revolution, but in uplifting and building, and in laying the foundation for a richer civilization, elevating in its course, science, music, literature, economics, statecraft, and the perception in society of advanced universal principles and a higher sense of society's own humanity. This is the power that nothing can hold back.

The LaRouche organizations have contributed immensely over the span of roughly four decades, to not only providing the critical choices for mankind's survival and peace, but more importantly so, to advance the face of civilization towards a freer, richer, and more powerful state of living, and a new renaissance. LaRouche points out in many ways that life culture and civilization do not exist for mere survival, but for the development of humanist power in society's living, even to 'reach for the stars.'

It would be surprising if the vast range of contributions from the LaRouche field, that have been forthcoming, would not have had an elevating impact on my own work as a researcher and writer, just as other pioneers in scientific development, past and present, have contributed to the advancement of my work in exploring the great Principle of Universal Love that historically stood behind every renaissance in history. 

In honor of LaRouche's contribution, I would like to present here one chapter from my series of 12 novels, The Lodging for the Rose, as an acknowledgement of the mental background that has been created with his contributions, in which the series of novels became possible. The presentation is not intended as an exemplification of LaRouche's work, which requires no such exemplification, but is intended as a testament, on my part, of the quality and depth of LaRouche's work that stands laterally as an equal with the very best of mankind's pioneering achievements, past and present.  I find myself blessed to have been able draw from his achievements, as I have drawn from the achievement of other pioneers. The chapter that is resented here is from near the middle of the series of novels, and represents somewhat of a turning point in the story that ties the entire series into one. The title of the chosen chapter is:

Love Letters

The chapter is from the novel, Seascapes and Sand
